Open-air bathing

In Brussels

Once upon a time in Uccle, on the drève de Lorraine, between the Sonian Forest and Prince of Orange neighbourhood, the only outdoor pool accessible both summer and winter. To fight against the abomination of our climate, the water shows a constant temperature of 29 degrees ... The story does not end with them diving and splashing about with many children ever after ... Unfortunately, the pool is open only to members of David Lloyd.

A major classic to the north of the city, just a stone's throw from the Atomium, Océadeis the best water amusement park around. Its many giant slides (including a new addition this year) are great for lovers of fast sensations.

The open-air swimming pool project near the canal might have been dropped, but another one sure hasn't: similar to the Serpentine in Hyde Park in London, an open-air pool is planned in the NEO project on the Heysel esplanade (Atomium). Unfortunately, there is no timeframe yet...

Glance in retro

During the inter-war period, Brussels was given an Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool surrounded by lawns. At the end of the 1978 summer season , the Evere solarium closed its doors for good. Today, the vast lawns have disappeared in favour of the Pastourelle parcelling.
